FROM: John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager
DATE: 11 May 1998 (Council meeting of 05- 20 -98)
SUBJECT: Discussion on the Relocation of the Police Resource Center
Discussion: The City is being required to relocate the Police Resource Center from its
current location in the Moorpark Town Center no later than June 1, 1998. The office area
immediately adjacent to the site has been offered for rent at the rate of $1.00 per square
foot (1,200 square feet) fixed for a three year period. Staff had solicited and received bids
for the cost of tenant improvements at the adjacent location. The initial bid was for
$33,400: New bids were sought based on a revised space layout. Two bids were received
for $25,000 and for $16,500. The City Council approved $20,000 for the work on April 1,
1998.
Subsequent to taking bids, the City's Police Captain talked to the School District
Superintendent about the lease of some vacant modular units at the District's
administrative offices on Flory Avenue. The units total 4,100 square feet. The Captain
proposes to locate the detective and other administrative functions from the East Valley
Sheriffs Station to this location. in order to use the district site for police use, the City
Council would need to assure that the lease agreement is clear that the action does not
in any manner change or affect the zoning or use of the District's property. The relocation
of operations to the Flory Avenue site will require over $30,000 in tenant improvements
and related items. Rent is proposed to be for free for the first year then increase to
$16,800 in the second year and $21,600 in the third year (staff has received no
confimiation from the Superintendent regarding these figures). It continues to increase by
$4,800 per year and could be anticipated to do so beyond the five -year projection. With
a larger space and heavier usage than the Resource Center, utility costs would
substantially increase. The School District would pay for electrical expenses in the first
year only, contrary to prior reports, and the additional telephone costs would have to be
picked up. Also, additional signage would be required since the location is not on a major
commercial street, a high priority concern to the Council in the past. Not included in these
costs are the expense for the possible storage of the Resource Center furnishings and the
possible cost of closing the Resource Center operations for a period of time.
The Council needs to consider what the function of a Resource Center is: In the attached
excerpt from June 1994 Council minutes, it was stated that a storefront activity readily
accessible to the public was the basis for having a resource center. The proposed Police
Police Resource Center

Center would._include. additional activities than previously considered by the Council.
Another issue for the,C►ouncil to consider is the long term location issue. A space needs
study is currently underway which will help determine the City's long -term space needs for
public safety will be, and identify the amount of land required for such a facility. The
Council should consider whether it is desirable to move the operations now, only to have
to move them again in a few years. The Flory Avenue site would not be consistent with
the Council's stated desire to have the Police Resource Center located downtown and on
a major street, and also accessible to the High Street area where it was once located.
Also, this would be the location for police services until such time as the City is able to
fund a new building. The current Sheriffs Facilities Fees being collected will not be
sufficient to fund a new facility based on current projected build -out. Attached is a report
prepared in -- on the police facilities fees and a projection of fees to be collected at
current rates on projects now under consideration. If the Council considers the location
of police activities to the Flory Avenue site, it may also want to consider relocating some
city hall activities to the building to alleviate the overcrowding conditions being
experiences. As proposed, sheriff employees would have over double the square footage
per employee as currently exists in City Hall.'
Attached are cost estimates comparing the current resource center location and the
proposed police service center for the next five years. These are based on figures
provided by Captain Lewis, but use the recommended FY 1998 -99 budget as a base and
include 4% annual inflation for future costs, which have been common in the past. Captain
Lewis indicates that there would be an initial $16,700 savings in overhead costs and an
initial annual savings of $11,000 per year in mileage. The amount of mileage savings is
only speculative and actual savings are not known. No other overhead savings would be
realized until the patrol unit is relocated from the East Valley Station according to Captain
Lewis. The attached cost estimates also show that is the cost savings do not materialize,
the proposed Flory Avenue site would cost over $136,000 more than the Resource Center
location ($323,596 to $186,844).
There are still a number of uncertainties for Council's consideration associated with the
use of the District buildings on Flory Avenue including land use impact, terms of a lease
and rent rates at market value, the increased General Fund expenditures that result in
future years, and a preference to have the Resource Center located downtown on a major
street.
Recommendation: That the City Council direct staff as deemed appropriate.

area). At the same rate ($1.15 per square foo CAA would be
paying $1,725 a month, less $138 for the area utilized by the
Sheriff's Department for a total of $1,587.
Staff's opinion is that the existing rent that CAA is paying at the
Poindexter facility, that being $1.15 per square foot, would be a
reasonable rent for the 18 High Street facility.
Further, staff suggests that if the Agency is to consider the
proposal by CAA, that during the contract negotiation process, that
additional bids be solicited by CAA in an attempt to lower the
costs for the improvements that are listed above, thus providing a
savings to the Agency.
As stated above., Councilmember Patrick Hunter suggested that this
facility be occupied jointly by CAA and the Sheriff's Department as
a storefront police office. The main office for the contractual
Sheriff's Service would remain at the East Valley Sheriff's
Station.
The primary reasons for his proposal are: 1) it is a generally
accepted concept in law enforcement that maintaining a high police
visibility is the greatest deterrent to crime and violence and; 2)
there is no reason to believe that this will not be true for the
immediate area and the entire community of Moorpark, if 18 High
Street were to be utilized for a storefront police facility. The
potential advantages of the Sheriff's Department being located at
this site are as follows:
1. The facility will afford a higher level of citizen
✓ involvement in furtherance of the community based
policing concept, especially for the High Street and
surrounding areas (for both commercial and residential
areas).
2. It has been found that the perception of safety is as
important as the level of crime itself and this facility
will add to this perception. When people feel an area* is
safe they will be more likely to frequent the.area, use
the public facilities and shop there.
(l 3. Provide a local Sheriff's Department office in our
community for report writing and for the preparation of
follow -up reports. Presently there is no permanent

FROM: Richard Hare, Deputy City Manage 6
DATE: March 17, 1995 (CC Meeting 4/5 95)
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No.-2& ,, Making Revisions to Ordinance No. 9
Regarding the Imposition of Building Permit Fees to Provide
Police Facilities
The City Council on 3/15/95 set a public hearing for April 5, 1995 to consider the amendment of
Ordinance No. 9 and the adoption by resolution of increased building permit fees for the future
construction of a police station.
Ordinance No. 9, which authorized the imposition of fees to fund a future police facility, was
originally adopted in 1984 and the calculation of fees enacted by this ordinance were developed
by Ventura County in July 1983 and have not been updated since. The language of Ordinance
No. 9 was also copied from the county and does not reflect City references. The staff has
proposed technical amendment of the language to be consistent with the City's nomenclature.
Other than these technical amendments, the basic concepts, formulas and authorities of Ordinance
No. 9 remain the same.
At the meeting of 3/15/95, Councilmember Hunter inquired about the exclusion of custodial
facilities from the calculation of construction costs. The original county ordinance and the
current City ordinance omit the cost for construction of 6,450 square feet of custodial (jail or
detention) facilities. Staff has researched this exclusion but has not been able to determine the
reason for the exclusion. It is surmised that the county anticipated the jail function would be a
centralized function at a central location. It is the opinion of the Moorpark Police Department
and staff that custodial facilities will be required in the future police station. At issue is whether
or not the cost or a portion of the cost for the construction of custodial facilities should be
included in the proposed police facilities fees. At this time they are excluded in the ordinance and
resolution.
The attached resolution updates the building permit fees imposed by this ordinance. The values
described in Ordinance No. 9 are specified, as they relate to the City of Moorpark in the year
2010, which is projected to be when it will be necessary to construct a police station for the City.
Ventura County established the cost of constructing a 28,400 square foot (sf) police facility minus
the cost of 6,450 sf of custodial space, but including land acquisition, site preparation and
landscaping cost to be $4,816,413. The current fees as applied to all new construction are as
follows:
updated 3/17/95 pdfacfee.ipt
00072
Current Police Facilities Fees
Single family dwelling: $83.58 times the total number of dwelling units
Multi - family dwelling: $54.16 times the total number of dwelling units
Mobile home: $55.54 times the total number of dwelling units
Non - residential: $ .05 per square foot
These fees have not been adjusted to reflect the increase in construction costs since the adoption
of the fees. Staff has not been able to obtain the original calculations of costs made by the county
in 1983. A new engineering study would merely increase the costs and decrease the funds
available to fund a police station. Absent the actual architectural, landscape and site design along
with an engineer's estimate of the cost to purchase the property and construct a police facility,
staff is recommending the use of an index annually to adjust the construction cost of a police
station.
As a comparison, the Fire Facility Fees as amended in 1992 for a less costly structure illustrate
that the present fees require adjustment. The County fees are:
Fire Facility Fees
Single family dwelling: $232.15 times the total number of dwelling units
Multi- family dwelling: $170.95 times the total number of dwelling units
Mobile home: $139.07 times the total number of dwelling units
Non - residential: $ .11 per square foot
Mean's Square Foot Costs 1995, which is a standard construction industry reference, was used to
compare the average per square foot construction costs and percentage change from 1983. The
index in 1983 for Santa Barbara which is the closest referenced city was 88.8. The January 1995
index is 119.1. There has therefore been an increase of 134 percent. Staff also reviewed the
index for Riverside which was 152 percent, but has selected the Santa Barbara index because of
the similar characteristics to the Moorpark region.
Applying the indexed increase (134 %) to the construction cost calculated and adopted by the
county in 1983 results in a new cost of $6,454,000. When combined with the projected 34,000
population of the City in 2010, (which does not include SP8 Messenger) and the expected
construction of 9,989,000 square feet of non - residential construction, the following new fees are
recommended: (Preceding figures were rounded to nearest 1,000)
updated 3/17/95 pdfacfee.rpt
00073
Recommended Police Facilities Fees
Single family dwelling: 5392.40 times the total number of dwelling units
Multi - family dwelling: $254.29 times the total number of dwelling units
Mobile home: $260.74 times the total number of dwelling units
Non - residential: $ .19 per square foot
Projected Funds from Recommended Fees
Single family dwelling units: 5,320 x $392.40 = $2,087,568
Multi- family dwelling: 2,242 x $254.29 = $ 570,118
Mobile home: It is estimated that there will be no increase.
Non - residential: 4,805,780 sf x $.19 = $ 913,098
Total Collected
$3,570,784
Thus far, only $450,000 has been collected in police facilities fees and when combined with the
projected funds the City will have $4,020,784 to construct a facility which is estimated to cost
$6,454,000. This represents sixty -two percent of the projected cost.
In order to keep the fees current, it is suggested that the Mean's Index be used each year to
update the fees. Annual updating using the Mean's Index would avoid the need to make a
significant increase in any one year to catch up to the trend index.
Administration Fee
Section 6 authorizes the City Council to amend the fee charged for administration of the building
permit fee. It is estimated that this fee requires approximately twenty minutes to process. Based
on the composite rate of $78 per hour the recommended administration fee established by the
resolution would be $25.
Recommendation
Introduce the Ordinance for first reading.
